Start with a clear direction
Choose one wide view for context, one close-up for a detail and one movement shot for the outcome. Retain a second close-up only if it adds information.
Put it into your edit
Upload your clips to Shorty and describe the result you want. Add a reference if it helps show the pace or visual treatment. Play the first cut, then use chat to shape the next version.
An instruction to make your own
Use this direction for my video: Choose one wide view for context, one close-up for a detail and one movement shot for the outcome. Retain a second close-up only if it adds information. Watch the edit without music. If two adjacent shots say the same thing, test removing one.
Check the detail that matters
Watch the edit without music. If two adjacent shots say the same thing, test removing one.
Keep the next change focused
Name the moment, say what should change and describe what you want to keep. For a title, supply the replacement words. For pacing, identify the shot that needs more or less time. Play the surrounding sequence after the revision to hear and see how the change fits.
